TRUST Equestrian Leather Full Cheek Straight Bit

The leather bits are a remarkable appearance in the TRUST collection. The leather is stitched manually around the reinforced nylon core and is tanned without chemicals. Also, the round construction is unique. Saliva makes the leather mouthpiece soften, after which it forms the horse’s mouth.

Experience shows that many horses like this very much. The flexible effect in combination with the taste of the leather makes the bit extremely suitable for horses with sensitive
mouths. In addition, we have noticed that mares especially like the taste of the leather and therefore accept the bit well. 

Note: Make sure that the stitching always faces the outside of the mouth, when the bit is used. Unlike metal mouthpieces, leather mouthpieces are softer.

This is what most horses like about these mouthpieces. When the mouthpiece is properly placed on the layers, damage to the mouthpiece is quite unlikely, but not impossible due to sharp edges on the teeth for example.

Maintenance: The leather bit is easy to keep supple. You keep it supple by lubricating it regularly with olive oil.

The Full Cheek has two vertical rods on a fixed ring. These straight bars(toggles) provide more side pressure (against the cheek), making steering easier. The ring of the Full Cheek is smaller than that of the D-shaped bit with less leverage effect as a result.

The upper toggles of the TRUST Full Cheek are slightly curved outwards so that they do not get stuck under the noseband.
